I only had the one trip to Senegal to do a job in a gold mine. On flying in we were put up at the company guest house and had to overnight before flying out to the mine the following morning. A couple of us got the driver to drop us into town so we could explore. We started at the Palace de I’independance down town with impressive guards in scarlet uniforms. we were then invited into a disused multi story hotel with a view over the city. Down to the markets which as is common in Africa were very colourful. The usual fruit and vegetable market along with rip off football shirts and of all things a wig stall. A wall full of paintings to sell to tourists. Local subjects and very colourful. We passed the church as mass was getting ready to start. Then on to the impressive old railway station with the tracks full of old engines and carriages that looked to have been parked there for some time. On then to the beaches. The fishermen had returned and a small fish market set up. Dozens of boats had been pulled up above the tide line waiting for the next trip out. One of the nicer cities in Africa with a great collection of sculptures as you drive from the airport.
